Privacy Policy

1. Overview

GiftSpan ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at yoursite.com ("Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it. We are committed to handling any personal information in accordance with applicable data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable.

2. Information We Collect

GiftSpan's tools run entirely in your browser. Inputs entered into the Gift Budget Estimator and Occasion Gift Finder are not transmitted to our servers and are not stored. We do not collect form data, search queries, or tool outputs.

We may collect limited technical data through standard server logs, including:

• IP address (anonymised after 24 hours)
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time of visit
• Referring URL

This data is used solely for security monitoring and aggregate traffic analysis. It is not linked to individual identities.

3. Cookies

GiftSpan uses a single first-party cookie to remember your cookie consent preference. This cookie ("ck") stores a value of "1" when you accept the cookie banner. It does not contain personal information and is not shared with third parties.

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies. If you use a web font loaded from Google Fonts, your browser makes a request to Google's servers, which may set cookies subject to Google's privacy policy.

4. Third-Party Services

GiftSpan loads web fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). When your browser requests these fonts, Google may collect your IP address and browser headers. This is governed by Google's Privacy Policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.

We do not use third-party analytics platforms, advertising networks, or social media tracking pixels.

5. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, you have rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR, including:

• The right to access personal data we hold about you
• The right to rectify inaccurate data
• The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")
• The right to restrict or object to processing
• The right to data portability
• The right to withdraw consent at any time

Because GiftSpan does not collect or store personal data from tool usage, most GDPR rights have limited practical application. For questions about data held in server logs, use the contact form on this page.

6. Data Retention

Server log data is retained for no more than 30 days, after which it is permanently deleted. No other personal data is retained by GiftSpan.

7. Children's Privacy

GiftSpan is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, use the contact form to request deletion.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be noted with an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes constitute acceptance of the revised policy.

9. Contact
